The installation bundle installs the entire Nuke family, including Hiero and HieroPlayer, and icons for the various components appear in your installation folder.
Note: Some modern anti-virus software may wrongly assume that certain files in the Nuke installer are suspicious. Examples of these files include libnuke-12.0.0.so and geolib-runtime-prof.so. If you have trouble installing Nuke on your machine, try disabling your anti-virus software before installation. Don't forget to restart your anti-virus software after installation.

• To install Nuke and display the installation dialog, type the name of the install file without the file extension and press Return:
Nuke<version>-win-x86-release-64
• To install Nuke silently so that the installer does not prompt you for anything, enter /S /ACCEPT-FOUNDRY-EULA after the installation command:
Nuke<version>-win-x86-release-64 /S /ACCEPT-FOUNDRY-EULA
Note: If you omit /ACCEPT-FOUNDRY-EULA the installer displays an error message. By using the /ACCEPT-FOUNDRY-EULA install option, you agree to the terms of the Nuke End User Licensing Agreement. To see this agreement, please refer to Foundry's End User License Agreement or run the installer in standard, non-silent mode.
By default, Nuke is installed to:
<drive letter>:\Program Files\Nuke<version number>
• To install Nuke to a specified directory during silent installations, use the /D install option:
Nuke<version>-win-x86-release-64 /S /ACCEPT-FOUNDRY-EULA /D=E:\Nuke
Note: The /D option must be the last parameter used in the command and must not contain any quotes, even if the path contains spaces. Only absolute paths are supported.
Tip: You can display a list of install options using the /HELP command:
Nuke<version>-win-x86-release-64 /HELP
| 5. | Proceed with Launching on Windows. |
Note: For versions prior to Nuke 12, use the /silent and /dir commands instead of /S and /D. See Previous Nuke Help Versions for more information.
